There are three significant effects of air pollution. Firstly, it can lead to damage to serious health problems. For example, many children are affected by this type of pollution through damage to their brains, lungs, heart and eyes. In addition, asthma is a very common problem in adults who live in heavily polluted cities. Secondly, there is a lot of ozone damage due to air pollution. For instance, global warming is a result of this type of pollution. It is destroying the ozone layer through large amounts of CO2 and CO which come from cars and factories. It is predicted that this will be a serious problem of living in the future. Another problem is the affect on water. As a result of water pollution many heralth problems are created.
